IVF Is Not Ethical—And It Doesn’t Cure Underlying Fertility Issues | Dr. Monique Ruberu

IVF is not ethically acceptable—and it doesn’t actually treat the underlying causes of infertility.

In this episode, pro-life OB-GYN Dr. Monique Ruberu explains ethical issues with in vitro fertilization, how the procedure works, and how root-cause fertility care offers a path that actually heals underlying health conditions.

Dr. Ruberu walks through ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo creation, embryo freezing, and embryo transfer. She explains the physical and ethical concerns surrounding IVF, including the treatment of human embryos as part of a laboratory process.

The conversation also examines:

• Why IVF is not an ethical treatment for infertility
• Why IVF may bypass rather than investigate the underlying causes of infertility
• Why “unexplained infertility” deserves deeper investigation
• The connection between hormonal birth control and fertility care
• What medical students and OB-GYNs are taught—and not taught—about the menstrual cycle
• Fertility red flags women may be told are normal
• What menstrual cycles can reveal about reproductive health
• How NaProTechnology and restorative reproductive medicine approach infertility
• How couples can pursue root-cause fertility care without IVF
• How Catholics can explain the ethical concerns surrounding IVF with both truth and compassion

Dr. Monique Ruberu is a board-certified pro-life OB-GYN specializing in restorative reproductive medicine and NaProTechnology. Through Natural Women’s Health, she helps women identify and treat the underlying causes of hormonal disorders and infertility while respecting both women’s health and the dignity of human life.
